The innards of the videogame industry are dark, mysterious, and just a
little bit icky. According to a recent article by Leigh Alexander, not
all is merry for our game developers this holiday season. Some people
who have put in a lot of work are being ignored, by publishers and
gamers alike. Maybe, as Joshua Lin describes, we need more videogame
